@RalphMcLeanShow Upped my Vinyl game whilst in the local charity shop yesterday. This is"The Ralph McLean Effect" in full effect. After well over some 10 years of listening to the KING of vinyl & all things music I think I've picked alright.Not a Dundonald icebowl amongst them😉.

Finally diving really deep into the #BruceSpringsteen #TracksII boxset on Monday’s radio show. It’s a daunting prospect taking on 7 whole albums of new material but it’s been worth the effort. Some real gems in there. Hope you can join me for 2 hours of Boss sounds on Mon from 8.

Three of the finest #MickeyNewbury albums have just been reissued by @FatPossum Records and I’m going to feature one a week on the next 3 #RalphMcLeanCountry shows starting tonight with this masterpiece from 1971 #FriscoMabelJoy. Sublime songwriting. @BBCSounds @bbcradioulster

Our next big vinyl event in Lisburn is the #Queen’ classic #ANightAtTheOpera on September 26th. Full album playback on a mighty sound system, plenty of history, a fully stocked bar and live music from the brilliant King Cedar. Fancy it? #ralphsrecordclub
